Description
|
|
|
|
For millennia, the Great Pyramids have stood as sentinels of the past, marking the graves of many celebrated Egyptian rulers. Generations of engineers have been taunted by one question: How did these ancient people manage to raise such enormous structures? While theories about ropes, ramps, ingenuity, and brute force abound, no definitive answer exists. This DVD examines a radical new theory that the Egyptians may have used their nautical skills to harness the power of the wind to lift the heavy stones. A number of historians, scientists, and engineers offer expert insights and help recreate feats of ancient engineering skill.
